The answer

This statement suggests a false meaning, and one should avoid ambiguous phrasings, or at least explain what is intended by them. Any word that can be interpreted as both truth and falsehood should not be uttered without clarifying the intended true meaning. However, if it is highly probable that the correct meaning is the readily apparent one, then there is no harm in using it without qualification.
